Ever since the first mention of Microsoft’s Xbox 360, we’ve been seeing tech demos of Epic Games’ masterpiece, Gears of War. Now that the game has hit store shelves, it’s obvious that the hype couldn’t exceed the brilliance that is the Unreal Engine 3.0. In Gears of War, you play as Marcus Fenix, a former war hero wrongly imprisoned by the government and now, the world’s lone hope. Combat the Locust Horde on the dilapidated streets of the planet Sera using a variety of machine guns, pistols, and grenades. Take the fight online in one of five unique multiplayer modes, and tackle the main campaign with a friend using online or split-screen coop. Less

Pros
deep gameplay, great online multiplayer, tremendous graphics and sound
Cons
story could use more depth, could use some more diverse multiplayer options
Recommended it?
Yes
Gears of War is the title to have if you own an Xbox 360 this Christmas. Still one wonders whether this title is just a placeholder until Halo 3 comes out. Ironically this would be similar to a situation last generation where Epic released a surprisingly solid Unreal Championship for the original...

Pros
The meat, potatoes, side-dish and the dessert!
Cons
Story needs some explaining, single campaign is short, no replay value.
Recommended it?
Yes
I do not want to sound like a prick. I do not want to sound like a bastard. But I must tell you the truth. So here it goes: Gears Of War is fun as hell and whoever that doesn't have it...should well, let's say you'll be missing out on a lot! Gears Of War has been highly anticipated over the year...

Pros
Excellent graphics, fun shooter, creepy setting.
Cons
When you play it the second time, you can see the flaws.
Recommended it?
Yes
I have a hard time choosing games to play. I don't know what it is, but most of the time I pick the lamest a** videogames. I am very picky on what I play. I hate sport games, racing games aren't really my favorite and I am extremely peculiar about first-person shooters. I didn't even know Bioshock...

Pros
Fantastic story, atmosphere, thrilling, solid game mechanics, scary
Cons
Repetitive enemies, didn't use some plasmids
Recommended it?
Yes
Bioshock was one of the first games on Xbox 360 that looked appealing to me. I'm a sucker for anything relating to the ocean and exploration, but when you mix in horror elements, a chaotic and sinister plot, and awesome first-person shooter dynamics--I'm sold. I bought it as one of the original...
